It’s been just over a year since the Habbo Avatars mint and since then our project has grown significantly. All sorts of integrations have been implemented in web2 Habbo, we’ve celebrated our first birthday, and most recently we ran a pre-alpha for our upcoming game: Habbo X.
As we build Habbo X, more issues and decisions are arising that we feel could benefit from a more direct, community-centric perspective. We’ve heard from our community that they’d like us to be more receptive and engaged in community sentiment. The team is really keen to listen and act on community wishes where possible, and we’re always looking for new ways to facilitate this.
Something some other projects have set up recently, and indeed something that existed in Habbo some time ago, are community councils. As we mentioned in our Discord recently, we’re doing the same for the Habbo NFT project. Recently we did a round of nominations and voting, and the community has elected seven people to represent it on the council.

How the council works
The Habbo NFT Council
The Habbo NFT Council is a group of community members whose main purpose is to advise Habbo NFT staff on certain topics related to the Habbo NFT project. The council is made up of 5–10 members during any given period.
How are Habbo NFT Council members chosen?
Habbo NFT Council members are chosen by the NFT community via a nomination process. This is followed by voting through Discord and you must hold at least one Habbo Avatar or Portrait NFT in order to vote. Habbo NFT staff reserve the right to override nominations outcome in cases where prior behaviour within the Habbo NFT Discord Server, Habbo X or Habbo, or sanctions of suggested members, need to be considered.
How long do members remain on the Habbo NFT Council?
Council members as voted by the community will have a tenure of 4 months. You cannot join the council if you have been a member at any point in the previous 12 months. At the end of each 4-month period, nominations and voting will open to select members for the next period.
Roles and responsibilities
The main role of the Habbo NFT Council is to advise Habbo NFT staff on a wide range of topics related to the NFT project and Habbo X. This may include discussion of new NFT furni or features which could be implemented in Habbo X. Council members may also collate and discuss community feedback with Habbo NFT staff and voice their opinions on these suggestions. The key role is to advise Habbo NFT staff on issues from a player’s perspective, however, overall decision-making ultimately lies with Habbo NFT staff.
